I recently moved to Madison for college, and tonight part of Dane County is under a Tornado Warning! My roommates thought I was weird that I went outside to record the sirens.
I would like to know what type of sirens are being sounded in this video clip--there is nothing real special being shown, just the sound.

It sounds like an EOWS* 612, or Modulator to me.

IT is a EOWS 1212 Madison Has only 612's and 1212's And this one was steady and not rotating

Oh, there was thunder and lightning, but just not while I recorded the sirens.
And tornadoes hit Northwest of Madison, but they still sounded the sirens.

It's probably just me, but I found those to be very high pitched.

Nice recording there!
